Lyrics

[Intro]
[Slow Delta blues guitar riff]
[Verse 1]
When I open my mouth to sing
Lord, when I open my mouth to sing
The rain starts falling on everything
[Guitar Break]
[Slide guitar response]
[Verse 2]
These blues ain't just for me, no
Said these blues ain't just for me
Each note I play sets somebody free
[Guitar Break]
[Mournful harmonica]
[Verse 3]
Some folks ask why I sing so low
Yes they ask me why I sing so low
'Cause pain shared is pain that lets you grow
[Breakdown]
Sometimes in the morning (morning)
Sometimes late at night (so late at night)
When the world gets heavy (gets so heavy)
I know it ain't right
[Verse 4]
Each tear that falls makes the river rise
Every single tear makes that river rise
And we're all swimming together, ain't that wise?
[Guitar Solo]
[Extended Delta blues slide solo]
[Final Verse]
These blues ain't just for me, no
Lord these blues ain't just for me
When I sing my pain, we all break free
[Outro]
[Slow fade with haunting slide guitar]
